A big problem of most logger implementations is performance. If you are logging many messages in a short time your logger may slow down the whole application. ealogger can write to an iostream, a fstream or a syslog sink at the same time. These operations take time. To minimize the overhead created by writing to a stream we are using a threadsafe queue. This queue is filled by the logger and a separate thread object and works with the FIFO principle and pops the messages from the queue and hands them over to the sinks.

Please note this is not a lock free solution so far.
